Marshall County Sheriff’s Office warns of dangerous drug in our community

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office is conducting an ongoing investigation and has credible information about a dangerous drug in our community.

We want to inform the public of illegal pills circulating in our area. These pills look to be “Xanax bars” that would be prescribed by a doctor; however, many of these pills in our community are not obtained from a pharmacy. They are purchased illegally from overseas and are found to contain amounts of Fentanyl. Fentanyl is a dangerous drug, even in trace amounts.

Xanax bars are popular amongst our youth who experiment with pharmaceutical drugs. If they consume a pill laced with Fentanyl, an overdose or death is likely to occur.

PARENTS, please talk to your preteens and teens about this dangerous drug. We do not want this poison to be the death of anyone, especially our kids.

Do not hesitate to report any suspicious activity or information to your local law enforcement. 270-527-1333.
